I might have some interest in this, where are you shipping from?

I had a Boddam catcher for awhile in the same colors as those pads. Big ass frying pan glove. It was pretty good though.  

I have a Boddam catcher now, love it, and planning to order another. Dare I say, I like it more than my Factory MAD catcher.

We've progressed to triangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms now

Easier to stitch at least. Just makes me wonder why the printed on graphics are like this (other than it being trendy).

My wife is looking to buy a new 4runner. They're impossible to get. Figures.

I've an '08 now that just rolled 100,000 miles, I love it. I keep window shopping newer ones but can't justify the cost with minimal benefits. If they ever did a hybrid I'd be all over it, the current MPG is terrible.

I think so? I'm having a hard time seeing what you're seeing.

Sorta like the Milwaukee Bucks logo

It's really too bad than Aron Dell isn't a bonafide starter in the NHL.

He's got some amazing style.

I mostly see a deer head here, am I the only one?

Really liking the Brian's Glove and the Factory Mad set, PM for a bundle negotiation?

The Lundy loop fixed that issue for me

I've though about giving that a try, just haven't gotten around to it yet. Thanks for the tip.

In the picture on the left the pads aren't sitting even.   The pic on the right shows that the G5 has the profile lock engaged, pulling the top of the pad down further than the G4.  It also appears that the pads on the right are not exactly even with each other all the way up.  I'm not saying it was done on purpose, but you can manipulate pads that are only 1/2" different in height to look exactly the same in a 2D image pretty easily.

It wasn't my intention to show that they're the same size. I have tried to adjust the profile lock to keep the pad taller, not sure it it was before or after that photo, pretty sure it was before though. I'll see how they play, I was really hoping for them to be a little taller as I occasionally land high on the 33s.

A couple of new sets to try:

I came across this topic because I had a similar question after having the 33+1.5" G4s, and recently picking up a set of 34+1.5" G5s (both senior level). Side-by-side comparison seems to show them being the same size, the top of the pads line up, the knee areas line up, it seems very similar. Anyone else have thoughts on this?

As long as the lace doesnt get further undone from there, I couldn't imagine it being a large issue

a tight knot should hold them in place and I don't think your pad will fall apart

Great, thanks for the reassurance.

Not sure if this is on this topic exactly, but you guys seem well versed in Bauer gear. I recently picked up a slightly used set of the Bauer 3S pads to try out. I got them the other day and noticed the inner vertical lacing is 'cut' near the toe. I was able to tie it off, I'm just wondering if this is going to be a huge issue, or if I'm worried for little or nothing. Any advice would be appreciated.

Saw this yesterday at the local PIAS.

My experience wasn't 100% great, it also took a long time. Would have been better to have a phone conversation but he wouldn't. I feel like you need to design it and he'll just do it, he just has the equipment.  Know what I mean? What was your issue? Did you pay a deposit?

This was back in November of '19. It had only gotten to the point of design where I sent a description and high quality images to be composited together, that was where it was left, never hear back. I know he is very busy, his work is amazing, it was just disappointing based on the other feedback I'd heard about him. I guess we can't all have nice things.

The wrap JF Aumais, the cage I took a chance on a company 5 min from home and came out incredible!

I'm a little disappointed in JF Aumais, I contacted him about a wrap, after a couple back and forth emails, he dropped off. Glad its worked out for you, that certainly is amazing work he does.

The gear refresh is complete! Now California just needs to stay open and not fully re-shelter in place.

I know the white pants will probably look gross in time, but I still like them. Nice stuff here.

Last Fall I decided to sip the Kool-aid and try the Factory Mad gloves by getting these from the swap:

They are now for sale to someone that has interest in trying something from this great manufacturer as I was so impressed I ordered this set which came in a couple weeks ago.

Mckenney 870 Blocker/895 Glove

What got detached here?

I like how you seem to keep your upper body pretty square, especially on lateral movements, nice job.

Nice! I had never seen it before myself  (but now I’ll probably see them EVERYWHERE! )

Wear it with pride! 

I barely wear it as I don't want to ruin it.

New to me, still smell new though. Pretty fantastic deal. 

They look awesome, where'd you pick them up from, if I may ask?

Can I ask, is there some discoloration on the knee area of the front, or just some odd lighting?

Not gear, but got a pretty sweet T from the wife and kids (didn’t have the heart to tell them that I’m not actually a goalie; just a goalie impersonator- and not a very good one - lol!!)

I've got this shirt in brown.

4th set in the last 7 months or so. I may have a problem. 

New, or new to you?
